[ lesson learnt ]

my parents left for Shanghai last night. after such a long time they finally decided to take a good break and to visit my relatives there. so before they come back with all the cheap goods and pirated dvds, my bro and i are in charge of the house. heh heh. well im just glad they're able to get away from their endless work and go for a nice holiday together without my bro and me.

for some reason i decided to visit a flowershop (or whatever you call a shop that sells flowers). i went in, began looking around for something nice but well, you should know im the type that knows nuts about flowers. so i decided to get help from the store assistant. said i wanted to get a small bouquet for some friends. preferbly bright coloured ones. he showed me some already arranged ones in the fridge but i asked what about the others (the ones they always sold in stalks and displayed in the open). he gave a huge stare and asked me, "Are you Singaporean??" and i was thinking what the heck did i say wrong? then he told me those are usually used for cemeteries. -__-! mann... i never knew. but its a good thing i do now. if not i might have ended up buying them all as teachers' day presents. LOL. well in the end i did managed to find something that looked rather nice. not the ones for cemetries of course! but i hope the ones receving it would like it. its a gift from kevin and me.

wenfang sent me a really touching song titled 'never gone' by bsb that i cant stop listening to. though its just a simple song, its lyrics sure reaches deep down into the heart... thanks wf. cheer up okays? the unit and i need you... be strong :)
